me and my bf have been together for almost a year now. We have never actually had sex..but we have pretty much beat around the bush. Both of us respect each others decision about not having sex. However, he does "finger" me sometimes.
Recently, my conservative mom found out that I have been "sexually active", and she wants me to go to the gynecologist to get tested to see if i'm still a "virgin" or not.
What are the chances that my hymen broke without bleeding or any pain.
Can my hymen break during my period?
What test will the gynecologist perform to check if my hymen is still intact?
Are there any symptoms that indicate whether my hymen is broken or not?

FYI: I've never used tampons..i stick to pads.

Please help!! i'm really confused and scared!

ok, yes, im a virgin. but, the weird thing is that i cant get inside my vagina not even to wash it.
it hurts painfully to even seperate the lips.
its like a blockage and its real slippery. i cant do it t all.
i know ppl say ''oh its because your a virgin'' but shouldnt i atleast get to open it and wash it. it scares me.
does this mean i cant have kids??

Do other women have unsightly (quite long) dark hairs growing around their nipples? I feel like a freak! Don't know how to get rid of them as plucking/cutting means more grow back in their place.

I am a 24 year old female, who is generally healthy. I am usually not sick that often; however, lately I've been so tired. I have always enjoyed sleeping and require quite a bit of sleep. I can get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, which should be plenty for someone of my age and health; however, I'm so tired. I feel like I only got about 3 hours of sleep. I work alot (fulltime 40 hours per week and teach dance parttime 3 nights a week), so that keeps me busy...but even so, why would I be so tired all the time? Are there any vitamins that I could take that would help? Any diet suggestions? I am within a normal weight, am active...but I know I could be eating better. Not that I'm eating horrible foods for me, but just not foods with tons of nutrients I'm sure. Also, a week and a half ago I had a kidney stone for the first time, of which I'm contributing to what I'm eating, and lack of water.

What are your suggestions?

Where to start, I have had some white discharge for a while now, I have been to my local GUM clinic, and everything came back normal.... So I went back to by GP for a 2nd opinion as it quite some amount of discharge, and she said she wasn’t sure, And gave a me a course of antibiotic "metronidazole" to see if I had BV(bacterial vaginosis)well I have finished the course and im still having problems.......I recently has my thyroid removed, and have developed Hashimoto thyroidism, could this be in anyway related, I have been told that you can develop a type of diabetes? Would this cause me to have problems down below if it went undiagnosed?

All answers welcome, im sorry if I have gone on abit, but if I could have something to say to my GP ill make another appointment, and hopefully get to the bottom of it

Thanks again guys.

I'm a 4'11, 19, female, virgin. For about the 3rd time, I've had my b/f to finger me. This time when he did it, I spotted on toilet paper with one wipe and with another, it was gone. I had gotten over my period on Sunday and I was producing plenty of lubrication. What could this be from?

I have been on depo provera for 3 yrs now. I really like not having periods, and the fact that I only have to remeber it every 3 months. But I'm worried about the bone loss, I bought supplements, but I can't remember to take them. SO any suggestions on birth control, that isn't once a day, and not the ring or IUD, anything that goes up there I'd rather not have, considering I just found out I have low grade abnormal cells on my cervix.

I am a 37 year old woman that has been having breast pain for the last 3-4 days. It feels almost like when you are letting your milk "dry up".. No, i am not pregnant! I had my tubes tied over 7 years ago and had my period just over 10 days ago. I have experience "breast soreness" before my period in the past. But nothing like this, it HURTS.

I understand you are not doctors, I am making an appt, but was just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing?

I have had anal sex before, well last week I had anal. The next day I was a little gasy (which is to be expected) like 4 days later, when I went to the bathroom I couldn't go, it feels like something could be blocking, or something? yesterday I went and there was some blood, but today it feels like I need to go again, but can't. Sorry I know its kind of gross. But has anyone had this problem? Should I be concerned or will it just go away?

I just had my period two weeks ago and all of the sudden it is back. I had no warnings like PMS and breast soreness. I don't know what happened. My fiance thinks that I should take a pregnancy test but I don't think I should. I haven't been under a lot of stress or anything so I just don't get it! Help!! What might have caused this? Why does it happen?

People always tell me I am skinny, but I don't think I am.

I constantly obsess about my weight.

I cook extravagant dinners but I don't eat them, everyone else enjoys the meal while I eat an apple or some broccoli or sometimes nothing at all.

I am 5'4 115lbs. and a size 3-5...

I have major depression....when it gets real bad,I need to get away alone to clear my head.This can take a day or a week,but I never had someone be concerned for me before.I truly would never hurt someone or make them be scared for me,especially not when I care about them. I know ppl will say,"imagine how you would feel if he disappeared..." and while that's true,it doesn't come into it...depression makes you selfish..."I'm sad.I'm depressed,I can't go on living...".It's all about ME,unfortunately...but I want to apologise to him,to try to explain that this is how I cope with my bad memories...any suggestions,please?

I am a 53 year old female. Just in the last year it seems like my brian isn't functioning the way it should. Kinda foggy in fact. I am taking meds for RLS and I feel as though it makes me kinda slow.
I do take Ginkgo to help. Is it just the age or is there something that can help expand my brain in the right way. I am a single woman and have to have a job to survive and hate to have my brain cells die out. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks,

I have been prescribed to take both wellbutrin and prozac together. I just heard the other day that there are serious side effects such as seizures and even coma. I am starting to worry about this combination. I thought that the drugs were working but now I'm skeptical about these side effects.

i'm 22, got cut when i was 21 3 mos + ago. my mom obviously knows i am/was uncut, and i know i was born premie so thats why i wasnt circumcised as a baby. but i never asked and she never told why i wasnt when i got healthier, like 3mos, 6mos, a year old, etc. i am curious as to why she never had me done. we're christians, and back in my birth year 1984 werent most guys cut? like just about 100%? lol. i'm just very very embarassed about asking her bc we never talked about that stuff. and should i tell her i just got circumcised 3mos ago? my dad isnt around so i cant ask him/tell him. he is circ'd though. even weirder that i never was. what do you think she'll say to me getting cut? will she care at all? her insurance covered it so im surprised she hasnt found out through the insurance yet. do you think she will eventually? do insurance co. have to tell the insurance holder about all procedures covered? even if done on an adult ie, it should be private like the nruse told me?
